Parameters

The password to use if stream contains an encrypted PDF file.

Remarks

The PDFDocument class encapsulates a PDF document on disk or stream and allows you to read the pages, objects and images from the document. stream must be kept alive as long as this PDFDocument object is alive and should not be disposed. The stream can be safely disposed when this PDFDocument is disposed. stream must contain the data of a valid PDF file. If the PDF file is encrypted, then password is used to try and decrypt the file. If the password value is not correct, an exception will be thrown. Another way of loading PDF documents is to use the PDFDocument(Stream stream) constructor. This constructor does not work on encrypted PDF files. Use the PDFFile.IsEncrypted to determine whether a PDF file is encrypted.
